I am a Carnegie Mellon University graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, class of 2020. During my time at CMU, I served as a teaching assistant for the data structures course across seven semesters, including four semesters as a lead TA. This role involved leading recitations, holding office hours, grading assignments, and mentoring students through complex concepts. It helped me build a strong foundation in explaining challenging material clearly and tailoring instruction to fit different learning styles.

Since graduating, I’ve continued to develop my teaching skills in my role as a software engineer by mentoring interns and guiding college students through technical projects, interview preparation, and advanced problem-solving. I focus on helping students build confidence through a structured, patient approach that emphasizes clarity and foundational understanding. My goal is always to help students not just get the right answer, but understand why it’s right.

I also work with high school students in computer science, calculus, physics, statistics, linear algebra, and discrete math. Whether a student is preparing for AP exams, struggling with classroom content, or looking to get ahead, I aim to equip them with a strong problem-solving mindset and a toolbox of strategies they can apply independently. I'm comfortable working with students at all levels and bring a supportive, encouraging style to every session to help them stay motivated and succeed.

Computer Science

Computer Science

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a Bachelors in Computer Science, class of 2020. I took courses ranging from computer systems, AI, algorithms, Natural Language Processing. I TAed the Data Structures for 7 semesters at CMU, teaching students to reason about their code and debug errors. I continued teaching computer science topics to fellows at summer fellowships at my current job as a Software engineer. I use skills developed in college every day in my current role.
Data Structures

Data Structures

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a Bachelors in Computer Science, class of 2020. During that time, I TAed for the data structures course that all computer science majors take. I led recitations, office hours, graded exams and homework, and developed course content. I covered topics such as hash tables, AVL trees, and unbounded arrays. I continue to use these data structures concepts in my day-to-day life as a software engineer with 5+ years of industry experience.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a Bachelors in Computer Science, class of 2020. I am an industry professional with 5+ years of experience. I TAed a Data Structures course in college for 7 semesters. I took many high level math and computer science courses rooted in discrete math.
